Thread: [Dev-C++] How to do WinSock programming

Hi guys,
Can someone please tell me how to do WinSock programming with Dev C++? I know Visual C++ syntax, but I am not sure of Dev C++'s syntax for doing that kind of programming. Thanks.

Exactly the same. What changes is how you compile the program.

Instead of adding WS2_32.LIB/WSOCK32.LIB you add -lws2_32/-lwsock32 to 
your linker command line.

The includes, structures & functions all stay the same (the libraries 
also stay the same but they have slightly different file names)
